UK Government Allows Airlines to Consolidate Flights Amid Rising Jet Fuel Costs
The UK government has announced temporary measures allowing airlines to consolidate flights to reduce empty seats and prevent last-minute cancellations due to soaring jet fuel prices. This comes as European airlines face financial strain from elevated fuel costs, with some, like Spirit Airlines, already shutting down. Jet fuel prices have surged to $179 per barrel, driven by the Iran war and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.
